bill mckeaver?

Bill McKeever is correct. He was an outstanding gentleman and great competitor that left us far too soon. He would flat turn the old fashioned way and eat up the roll ups.

You cant really read any other numbers so here are a few clues....
1-N green boat
1-B second place boat running his uncle Clarke's 20H
110-N third place boat

Help name the guys in the Region Three picture.....

Here is one that was sent to me, alot of names in this one.

The names of these guys are bugging me since so many look familiar in my crappy memory. Let's see who you remember that I don't.
I have a feeling Craig Bowman knows everyone of them, the class they raced and their middle names!

Front row L to R
1 ? Ray Hammond?
2 ? Desiato?
3 Shanon Bowman
4 ? Beiswinger?
5 Rich Runne
6 ?

Middle row L to R
1 ? Hank Runne?
2 Craig Dewald
3 Craig Bowman
4 ? John Wlodarski?

Back row L to R

7 RC Hawie
8 Bob Austin Sr.

10 ?
11 Bob Austin Jr.
12 Dave Dewald
13 ?
14 ?
15 ?

Other possibles... Bill Rosado, Roger Hoffman, Peter Horst. Harry Austin???
By the looks of the sand, fence and skyline I bet this is either Millville or Mays Landing?
By the t-shirts and hats, I would guess about 1985 to 1986?

1)The 44N was built by Ron Waterson and raced in the Nationals in Michigan by Scott Reed in the 90's. I believe he finished 2nd. Jerry Davids bought it and had much success with it. The boat is still a front runner out west, do you know who has it?

2)50/50 raffle Crystal Lake mid 90's

3)Who is the mystery driver climbing in my BSR? (109-N) and who owned the 28 boat with the Christmas decorations?

4)This is the first CSR to roll out of Reed Racing Hulls shop in Fishers Landing. I think Scott is still pi$$ed that he had to wear that helmet because I forgot to bring his back.

That is Definetly south Jersey Sand at there feet. So it is either Millville or Mays Landing. Most likely Mays Landing.

I don't know, but the 7-N in the background has been seen on the lawn at KampKurz at least a couple of years. Come on KampKurz drivers, think Thousand Island area??

Last Blast

Jeff, This photo is from the BSR last blast at Mays Landing circa 1989. DVORA scheduled a farewell to the 20H, but did little to publicize it. Shanon and I decided to give the event a boost. Shanon happened to have a 20H in his shop with a fresh bore. We started calling all the old B runabout guys we could remeber. When they answered, Shanon would fire the 20H, I would stuff the receiver up the exhaust and Shanon would give the throttle a few blips. Without telling them who was calling, I would merely tell them, "Mays Landing, September whatever. Be there!"
On race day, we had a full field of 20H B runabouts and decades worth of guys with bad knees and limited hearing wandering the beach. Scott Hoffman won the race with his 40 cubic inch 20H. Except for Norm Brewington, who was forced to pit for oxygen shortly after start, the drivers appeared to be more up to the challenge then their less than "craclin" old iron. Zip Gallagher's crank rusted through and his rods fell out. Shanon's "new" 20h suffered a mysterious impellor failure. He came in on the hook, trailing a "smokie" cloud..
The antique oldboarders were in their heyday bidding on the carnage even before they were out of the water.

The picture shows the majority of B runabout drivers who were in the pits that day (Some had wandered off)and Pappy Stillwill who came out of retirement to referee the event.

The Photo:
Front row: Ray Hammond, George Pappy Stillwill, Shanon Bowman, George Gilchrest, Rich Runne, Mike Neal.

Middle row: Kevin Zip Gallagher, Craig Dewald, Craig Bowman, Dave Rode, Stan Kidd, Roger Hoffm,an, Scott Hoffman

Back Row: Bill Rosado, Charlie Spencer, Tom Barrett, Phil DiFebo, Ernie Fanslau, Sam Earl, R.C. Hawie, Bob Harry Austin, Norm Brewington, Conway Cohalan, Bobby Austin,Dave Dewald, Steve Hoffman, Scott Scholl, Dick Toone.

Great job Craig!

I knew you could name them and leave it to you and your blood line to add a hilarious story to it! Thank you.
This pic originated from Craig Dewald (thanks for sharing) and now we know the rest of the story.

The 7N made the trip to Top-O one year driving a tan Jeep Comanche pickup. When he got back home to Fishers Landing he realized he made the round trip with a 1 7/8 ball and a 2" trailer hitch.

Cooper, Did you seriously think that midwesterners were the only ones who could enhance the performance of an outboard?

The east, after all, was the home of the "southern A".

40 c.i may be a bit of hyperbole, but 40 over pistons have been known to exist.
